How do I keep my passwords safe? Print this Article
Short answer: never put a password in a ticket or email. Use a long, unique password for every login and keep it in a password manager.
Why not in a ticket?
Tickets and emails are stored and copied to inboxes. A password written there can be read later by anyone who gets into one of those inboxes.
What to do instead
Use a long, unique password for each login and keep it in a password manager. If someone else has used a password to help you, change it once the work is done.
